Verse 1
Gold paint on the cracks of the wall
A borrowed laugh in a mirrored hall
I count my steps like borrowed time
Make every fault look well-designed

Pre-Chorus
If they look close, they’ll see the seams
If they look quick, I pass as clean

Chorus
I keep it shining where it strains
Dress the ache in brighter names
What leaks inside, I rearrange
I live through gilded veins

I stand upright, I never sway
I trade my truth for grand display
What keeps me moving stays unnamed
I live through gilded veins

Post-Chorus
Hold it steady — I hold it steady
Shape the story — shape the story

Verse 2
Polished words with a practiced weight
Every gesture calculated
If survival needs a stage
Then I learn the part I play

Pre-Chorus
I fold the past into design
Make damage look like taste and time

Chorus
I keep it shining where it strains
Dress the ache in brighter names
What leaks inside, I rearrange
I live through gilded veins

I stand upright, I never sway
I trade my truth for grand display
What keeps me moving stays unnamed
I live through gilded veins

Instrumental Break

Bridge
If I slow down, it all spills out
So I stay loud, I stay adorned
Not healed — but held together
By the shape I learned to form

Build

Chorus
I keep it shining where it strains
Dress the ache in brighter names
What leaks inside, I rearrange
I live through gilded veins

I stand upright, I never sway
I trade my truth for grand display
What keeps me moving stays unnamed
I live through gilded veins

Outro
Still standing…
Still arranged…
